Santa Claus has decided that he'd like all good little boys and girls to check in on what he's doing at the North Pole, so he's set up a special webcam network at his workshops. The webcams can only be viewed through a special iPhone app called
SantaLive 2008. Starting on Thanksgiving Day and for 30 days after, you can get a daily update on your iPhone or iPod touch as Santa trains his elves to make toys, feeds Rudolph and the other reindeer, and prepares for worldwide toy deliveries during the evening of December 24th - 25th.
On Christmas Eve, he'll be providing a special report. Santa's cyber-helpers warn that the Christmas Eve report might take a while to download.
In an exclusive interview, Santa told TUAW that he's not much of an iPhone developer, so he had to outsource this work to
The Casual Game Network to set up the webcams and make the system work. Since he has to pay these subcontractors, he's charging US$1.99 for
SantaLive 2008 (click opens iTunes) through November 30th, after which time he's going to charge $2 more.
We'll be talking to the
Easter Bunny's press manager soon to see if he's going to follow up with his own app.
